The only time this modification can actually change anything on a site is if you use the 'shutdown' option to close your forum during a backup, in theory if the save of the options failed for some bizarre reason then the options in the datastore could get corrupted (simply editing an option would rebuild them I think).
Other than that, this has no capability to change anything, it's a "read only" modification.
Given that the basic code (written by Trigunflame) has been in use for over two years without any other such reports, I'm inclined to conclude that something else caused your issue. If you have evidence otherwise then please feel free to contact me.
(JFYI, This runs a backup on my site every night, and has done since the day 3.6 was released. I do not use the shutdown option.)
